F-Rei-san; thank you for reviewing. I guess it was pretty clumsy of me to leave many questions to answer. But they do have answers. XD

"But Chairman Holbrooke, they have been waiting for that meeting to happen tomorrow. I'm sure you can—"

" , I have decided to not go anywhere tomorrow and finish all of my paperworks at home. Surely they will understand if you say I am a bit under the weather." the old woman spoke mildly opposing to the lady in panic on the other line, her secretary.

Finneran sighed. "I understand . I will tell them."

"Thank you always Finneran."

"You're welcome. Good night Chairman."

"Good night." The call dropped and the chairman once again looked over the sheets of approvals, finances and the likes.

"I think this is enough for tonight. I will continue tomorrow. I'm already exhausted this early. Must be age." Holbrooke chuckled to herself as she put the rest of her work papers for today. She may be a chairman and have a school and hospitals to run, but she is still human and she needed rest.

"I am protecting what you have built milord. I hope I am doing well." She says as if the person could hear her even though she was alone.

Suddenly, a chill of air ran through the master bedroom as a ray of colorful light fell through...

The light dissipated and revealed a blonde woman clad in white sleeves carrying a child on her back.

"It has been a very long while, Holbrooke."

The old woman couldn't believe her eyes. "This is... Am I seeing things? Lord Cavendish? How did you — That child..."

"Yes. She is the reason I was awoken from my slumber." Lord Cavendish glanced at the child behind her , smiling.

Holbrooke still couldn't believe it, but it was definitely her. The person her family was dedicated to serve finally returned . The last-born of the Cavendish , in her human form.

"Is she perhaps..."

"I will tell you in due time. For now, I ask of your assistance. A lot appears to have changed in the human world."

"You need not ask. We have served you for a long time , and I am more than happy to be able to serve you again. It is the greatest joy you bring to us Lord Cavendish."

"Thank you , my friend."

The students walking into the gates of the school signalled the car to a stop . Alviel opened the door for Diana to step out and Akko followed.

"Granny and... !? What are you doing here in school?" Akko smiled seeing Holbrooke. She'd also been in her care since young and treated her like a daughter. Akko couldn't help but address her as grandmother since...she did not know what it was like to have one. The japanese lass had remembered a bit from her parents...but no other than that. It was nice to have a grandmother nonetheless. Finneran, Holbrooke's assistant who also acted as her home tutor not long ago had been strict, but good to her. She's like a strict mother if she may say. Akko considered her as a part of her little family.

"My my. If it isn't Akko and milord." Holbrooke and Diana nodded to each other as a greeting.

Finneran just nods to them and listens.

"I happen to be a chairman of this school, Akko."

"Ah! That's right. This is the school you run—Are you...like...maybe done giving your speech and I am very late?" the brunette hit by paranoia once again.

The chairman chuckled. "I am just going in because it's about to start."

Akko sighed in relief. "I'm glad. I thought I was done for on my first day."

"Akko..." a soft voice called to her calmed her very soul. "I will pick you up after school. Make friends and behave befittingly."

"Y—Yes , Diana-sama. Thank you." she stuttered and she didn't know why but she sent the woman a smile. "Take care."

The blonde nods. "Well then, Holbrooke, Akko , Finneran, have a good day." She closed the window and the car moved away from the scene where Akko was still waving goodbye.

"Akko. Let's go." Holbrooke beckoned for the young girl to follow after.

"R—Right!" Akko followed and it was sinking in, she's going to be a high-schooler from now on. More adventures and new excitement will definitely come.

A/N: I should've put this on the first chapter but hesitated. Meh. Btw. What do y'all think of a rebellious granddaughter-because-she-is-next-in-line-as-head Croix?
